Is there a way to get two multi-prim objects to rotate in sync with each other? I have two rotating doors with a simple rotation script in each, and I want them to continuously move and be in the same mirror position as the other as they rotate.

You could use something like chat (or a common calculation of some sort) to synchronize when the objects both use llRotLookAt(), but if you're interested in smooth, continuous rotation that is precisely synchronized, you're probably out of luck.

the chat idea is good, I like using a timing message that both objects recieve and act upon to make their moves... in some cases you can do this with link messages. synching based on a clock at regular intervals might work as well, or you may even get away with just a synched start.
