Need help with a rule

Setup, Configuration and Use Scripts & Rules

Hi so i have a problem with a rule idk what to do.

This is not working:

rule “2”
when
Item TEST changed
then if (TEST.state == ON) {
createTimer(now.plusSeconds(5)) [
if (TEST.state == OFF) {
TEST2.sendCommand(ON)}]}[{
createTimer(now.plusSeconds(5))
TEST2.sendCommand(OFF)]}

end

In this way it works

rule “2”
when
Item TEST changed
then if (TEST.state == ON) {
createTimer(now.plusSeconds(5)) [
if (TEST.state == OFF) {
TEST2.sendCommand(ON)}]}

end

But after this is executed i need the item TEST2 to be turned off after 5 seconds, but it needs to be in this rule because i have another rule that when i turn TEST3 on it turns TEST2 on and vice versa and when this is activated in this way it cant turn off after 5 seconds, so what i need is that when TEST is on if i turn it off before 5 seconds TEST2 will turn on and after 5 seconds TEST2 turns off basically a toggle switch but only in this rule.

Does that do what you want?
It is not very clear what you want to do in the rule

rule “2”
when
    Item TEST changed
then
    if (TEST.state == ON) {
        createTimer(now.plusSeconds(5), [ |
            if (TEST.state == OFF) {
                TEST2.sendCommand(ON)
             }
        ])
    }
    createTimer(now.plusSeconds(5), [ |
        TEST2.sendCommand(OFF)
    ])
end
