Mirroring Objects with Correct Rotation

I was wondering if there is a mirroring script out there that mirror objects with correct rotation on the local.
I've attached an image that explains the rotation desired after mirroring. It would result in allowing users to rotate on the local transform and having the objects on both the left and right rotate outward/inward.

Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

Not

I'm not quite sure I see how this is working. I ran the script and it didn't seem to do much or anything. Although in the code is seems to be doing something but the results are unchanged.

hi..found this topic while

hi..
found this topic while searching for an answer to the same question..
i dont know if you already found a way.. if yes, please post..

the only way i found is

objrot = $.rotation.z_rotation
$.pivot = $.center
$.rotation.z_rotation = 0
scale $ [-1,1,1]
rotate $ (eulerangles 0 0 objrot)
ResetPivot $

dont really know if its this what you were looking for.. just looked at your image again. now i´m in doubt
