Oh I see. So one way you can do it is set a boolean. Then check the boolean to see if it's true.

teleop_init
    button_previous = false;
...
teleop_periodic
    button_now = get_button(); // get the button state (pressed or not pressed)

    if (button_now && ! button_previous) // detect rising edge only

    runMotor = ! runMotor; // if rising edge, toggle the direction boolean

    button_previous = button_now; // save the button state for comparison in the next iteration

    if (runMotor)
        motor.set(1)
