How do I get the x and y of a click using javascript?

Question

So Im making a 2d html game and Im tryna get the x and y of a click and turn it into a variable. How would I do that?

Edit:I've been trying a different method but it broke the game for some reason so I was stuck. Thnx

Answer 1

i use the event object parameter in the callback function for that.

for example, in the addeventlistener:

addEventListener("click", function(event) {
console.log(event.x);
console.log(event.y);
});

The above function will be fired when the user clicks anywhere in the document.
