Welcome to AutoIt and the forum!

What have you tried so far?

i think you meant by this " every 3rd mouseclick i click" :

every 3 left mouse clicks 

#include <Misc.au3>
Local $hDLL = DllOpen("user32.dll")
$x = 0
while 1
if _ispressed("01", $hDLL) then $x = $x + 1
if _ispressed("1B", $hDLL) then
msgbox(0,0,"the number of triple mouse clicks is: " & $x/3)
exitloop
endif
sleep(10)
wend

this code must count every 3 left mouse clicks and when you press ESC key it will show the results

it might have some little mistakes cuz i'm not using compiler right now 

btw this is just a demo you must find a better way to do it cuz if you pressed 7 left mouse clicked it will give you about 2,3 triple mouse clicks which is something that you dont want to see, still the same functions just play little around

#include <Misc.au3>

Local $x, $count
ToolTip("0", 0, 0)
While 1
   If _ispressed("01") then 
         Do
            Sleep(10)
         Until not _ispressed("01")
         $x +=  1
   Endif
   If $x = 3 Then 
        $count += 1  
        $x = 0
        ToolTip($count, 0, 0)
   Endif
