Dimensions of the citadel from Half life 2

[Darkvoice]

Does Anyone have Any info on this?

One could noclip and get a birds eye view.
The Hammer Map Editor might let you import the model though...

That won't do you any good. There isn't a full scale model of the Citadel in the game files. Just a Skybox model (which is like a miniature) and a section of the citadel that's combined with world geometry in the Citadel chapters.

Lore wise though, the Citadel is supposed to be a few kilometers tall both into the sky and the ground.

I Got the height of the citadel but i couldnt find anything else otter than that :/

There aren't any known dimensions for the Citadel as far as I know, aside from height and it being "a few kilometers" wide.

i've tried to measure it myself and from what i can tell its about 1.5 kilometers tall.
it does extend a good bit below the surface as well, and i think the interior maps might not be to the scale of the exterior of the building, but don't quote me on that.

[Darkvoice]

Yes i have... as i said b4, i know the height of the building, but not the with and so forth.

Have you tried geometry?

UNofficial and I do not visit Reddit where the numbers are apparently sourced so I cannot vouch for any accuracy but Kotaku claim almost 8500'

You could calculate the height from an in-gaem view looking up at the citadel's peak, via trigonometry.
This would require knowledge of the horizontal separation and that the difference between ground elevation of the building & observer is known. Also height of Freeman (or at least Player eye perspective). Also, you would need to have the console output the actual pitch angle of observation.

Sounds really complicated. :/ if thats the only way to do it, i wouldn't know where to begin tbh.
