Need a bit of help making a simple addon

[Cougarkillz]

Since It's simple, I'm gonna include the code and then explain what it does under the code:

local MINING_GLOVES = "Grips of Damnation"
local HERBALISM_GLOVES = "Forager's Gloves"
local COMBAT_GLOVES = "Gorepetal's Gentle Grasp"

local HERBALISM_TEXT = "Herbalism"
local MINING_TEXT = "Mining"

local GameTooltip = GameTooltip
local GameTooltipTextLeft2 = GameTooltipTextLeft2
local EquipItemByName = EquipItemByName

local Fighting = 2

local GGframe = CreateFrame("FRAME");
GGframe:RegisterEvent("LOOT_CLOSED");

local function ScanTooltip()
	if GameTooltip:NumLines() ~= 2 then return end
	local text = GameTooltipTextLeft2:GetText()
		if UnitAffectingCombat("player") then
		else
			if text:find(MINING_TEXT) then
				inFight()
				if Fighting == 3 then
				elseif Fighting == 4 then
					EquipItemByName(MINING_GLOVES)
					inFight()
					if Fighting == 3 then
					elseif Fighting == 4 then
						if event == "LOOT_CLOSED" then
							EquipItemByName(COMBAT_GLOVES)
						else
							C_Timer.After(5, CombatGloves)
						end
					end
				end
			elseif text:find(HERBALISM_TEXT) then
				inFight()
				if Fighting == 3 then
				elseif Fighting == 4 then
					EquipItemByName(HERBALISM_GLOVES)
					inFight()
					if Fighting == 3 then
					elseif Fighting == 4 then
						if event == "LOOT_CLOSED" then
							EquipItemByName(COMBAT_GLOVES)
						else
							C_Timer.After(5, CombatGloves)
						end
					end
				end
			end
		end
end

function CombatGloves()
	if UnitAffectingCombat("player") 
	then C_Timer.After(5, CombatGloves)
	else
		EquipItemByName(COMBAT_GLOVES)
	end
end

function inFight()
	if UnitAffectingCombat("player")
	then Fighting = 3
	else Fighting = 4
	end
end

	
	

GGframe:SetScript("OnEvent", GGframe.OnEvent);

GameTooltip:HookScript("OnTooltipSetDefaultAnchor", function(self)
	self:SetWidth(1)
end)

GameTooltip:HookScript("OnSizeChanged", ScanTooltip)

Okay so... What I'm trying to accomplish is a simple glove switching addon for gathering. I've pieced together what I currently have and been learning how to do this on the fly (sorry if the code is a mess).

What it currently does: When I hover over an herb or ore node, it checks the tooltip to see if it says "Herbalism" or "Mining". If it says herbalism, it checks to see if you are in combat. If you are, it does nothing. If you aren't it equips the gloves typed in for the herbalism slot. Mining does the mining gloves.
It then waits 5 seconds, and checks to see if you are in combat (and goes into a loop, checking the combat every 5 seconds) until you are out of combat so it can equip the Combat Gloves.

What I want it to do: An extra step that equips gloves as the loot window closes. So, you hover over a node, it equips your gloves, you swoop down and grab it, and then once the window closes, instead of waiting the next 2-3 secs, it equips your combat gloves right then.

The problem I'm having: I can make it activate when the loot window closes. I can make it activate on a timer that waits 5 seconds. I can NOT for the life of me figure out how to do both. I'd like it to activate with the timer, and then if the loot window closes before the 5 seconds are up then the timer becomes obsolete and it equips the combat gloves right then.
Right now, with the current code, it completely skips over the loot window closing and equips gloves after 5 seconds.
I've been trying to figure this out on my own without having anyone else write it for me, but this is as far as I've been able to get (after around 10 hours of trial and error testing to even get this far >.<). If anyone knows a solution, I'd really appreciate it =-b

C_Timer.After(duration, callback) – Calls the callback cafter duration seconds. timer = C_Timer.NewTimer(duration, callback) – Calls callback after duration seconds. This is more expensive than C_Timer.After, so this only should be used if you need it to be cancellable. timer:Cancel() – Cancels a timer

C_Timer.NewTimer is what you're asking i guess.

Where is your GGframe.OnEvent function?

In any case, when the loot window closes, check to see if you are in combat. If not, equip your regular gloves. If you are, start a timer. I would use C_Timer.After (with a pre-defined function, not an anonymous one that would get recreated each time a timer is invoked). Every 5 seconds check your combat status. If still in combat, call another C_Timer.After.
