How to use millis() like delays.

So i know how to make something blink with millis(), but I dont know how to make something where I need different delay values, for example: digitalwrite(pin, HIGH); delay(200); digitalwrite(pin, LOW); delay(500); so I need to make a code that does this, but with millis(), is this possible? thanks

you set up a variable for each "delay" you need i.e. prevPin1Time, prevPin2Time, etc. then setup the various INTERVAL values https://wokwi.com/projects/436781592561891329 even better https://learn.adafruit.com/multi-tasking-the-arduino-part-1?view=all

void delayme(int thedelay)
{
  long time_now = millis();
  for (;;)
  {
    if (millis() - time_now > thedelay - 1)
    {
      time_now = millis();
      break;
    }
  }
}
