I want to make the function code for a move that lowers Special Attack by chance, but 100% of the time during a certain weather condition.

You know which other move has a varying percentage chance of having its additional effect? Chatter. You know which function code is all about lowering the target's Special Attack by 1 stage? Number 45 (Struggle Bug, Snarl, Mist Ball). You know which moves check what the weather is? Weather Ball, for one. Why not have a go at combining the relevant parts of each of them? Note the additional effect chance defined for Chatter in moves.txt, by the way.
I'm making several assumptions here. Your new function code is for a damaging move, it lowers the target's Special Attack, and it's lowered by 1 stage. You should get into the habit of providing information like this.
