For a project, I need to have a high-resolution timer (For animation). However, the default, built in timer will not do. Is there any way to make a high-resolution timer in Scratch without a mod?

Well the built in timer goes to the thousands place*, and the most accurate timer you could get would be accurate to the nearth 40th of a second, so no, there isn't a way.

* - You have to click the variable to see this; you can't just have the variable showing.

I hope that this helps! Alo hello Spaxxy and welcome to Scratch! I wish you much joy here!

The "timer" block is precise to the milisecond, that should be more than enough for animations. I did a "fade in" effect for this project using said block, and it works smoothly.

Yeah; I use it to lock framerates when I make projects intended for turbo mode, and it works pretty well. 

The format for locking the framerate is something like this:

when gf clicked
broadcast [Initialize v] and wait
forever
reset timer
broadcast [Update v] and wait
broadcast [Draw v] and wait
wait until <(timer) > ((1) / (30))> 
end
