None of the functions you describe can be done with the editor... the editor can only be used to edit the map, but not the actual game and story- that is done through scripting. Scripts control what people say and do, the actions during a cutscene, how the title screen is made, and all of the actual gameplay. Scripting is much more influential in the outcome of a D-Mod than the editor. The editor allows you to create a world to interact in, whilst the scripts allow you to define how the player interacts with that world. Check out the DinkC Reference in the Develop folder as well as the source code to get an idea of how this works...
