I want to implement rain effects in my game with a delay in start and stop rain effects.
actual in the precipitator class there is private field "turbulencedata" with struct as its data type , question is how to specify this data field in script and will this field bring my desire effects.

thanks in advance

You want the following script function...

// Have the rain go to 50 percent strength over 10 seconds...
myPrecip.modifyStorm( 0.5, 10 );

Going to 0 will turn it off 1 will be 100% strength.

You can use somthing like:
// Stop the rain
     myPrecip.modifyStorm( 0.0, 10 );
     // Schedule rain in 5 secs.
     schedule(5000, 0, startRain);

function startRain()
{
     myPrecip.modifyStorm( 1.0, 10 );
}

to start the rain with a five second delay, or you could reschedule an increaseRain function that slowly starts and stops the rain over some time.
