-Can monsters pass through clip brush's?, can you make them toggle with a function like wall?

Monsters cannot pass through player clips (they treat them as func_monsterclips)

You can't toggle player clips, but you can make an invisible func_wall_toggle that has the same effect.

-Is it possable/will it ever be possable to write simple(or not so simple) sripts for a custom npc? Just text responces or perhaps triggering events based on logic like only when such and such is said AND such and such is active.

Describe what you want and it shall appear in next months patch (plus I'll get you a pre-release sc.dll to test with).

-Is there a way to make transition areas active/inactive?

You can remove them via trigger_relay and killtarget if they have a targetname set - but other than that, your only option is to block them off, sfaik.

-Can you activeate/deactiveate/set the time of the areas from a map entity

You can only set the time of the map globally.

Spawn NPC - to create effect
weather/settime_day - set time to noon
weather/settime_dusk - set time to sunset
weather/settime_night - settime to midnight
weather/always_day - lock time at noon
weather/always_dusk - lock time at dusk
weather/always_night - lock time at midnight

weather/make_snow - make it snow
weather/make_rain - make it rain
weather/make_storm - make it storm
weather/make_clear - clear all weather effects

Why is it so bloomin' cold today?

Because you chose to be on the wrong end of the planet when the axil tilt caused your continent to get less sunlight than the it does during the rest of the year.
