If you want me not to
1) I won't come here any longer if you want me not to.
2) I won't come here any longer if you want it.
3) I won't come here any longer if you want.
4) I won't come here any longer if you want me to.
5) I won't come here any longer if you want me.
Which are correct if the intended meaning is:
I won't come here any longer if you want me not to come here any longer.
I think '4' and '5' don't have that meaning.
Gratefully,
