was Pressed
Check if a button was pressed earlier.
brick.buttonEnter.wasPressed()
The fact that a button was pressed earlier is remembered. Once was pressed is used, this fact is forgotten and the result is false the next time you check with was pressed button state is reset). But, if you press the button again before you check with was pressed, it will tell you true.
~hint
Touch sensors
Your @boardname@ has touch sensors that work like buttons. Instead of saying enter or left as the source button, use a touch sensor block with a sensor name like touch 1.
if (sensors.touch1.wasPressed()) {
console.log("Hey, I was pressed.");
}
Read about touch sensors and using them as touch buttons.

if (brick.buttonRight.wasPressed()) {
brick.setStatusLight(StatusLight.Green)

brick.setStatusLight(StatusLight.Off)
}
