Hello i need to transform one object (let's call it A) position from global frame of reference to another object's (let's call it B) frame of reference.
Is Vec newPos = A->pos() / B->matrix() the right way?
A->pos()* ~B->matrix() seems to have similar results

I have similar problem. Im not sure about certain thing. What matrix contained in every object transforms. Local to Global, Global to Local. Local to Global with scaling, Global to Local with scaling.

If We want transform object B into local space of object A (forward of A is Z axis and A is in (0,0,0)) should i go like this?

Vec localB= B->pos();
localB -= A->pos();
localB= localB.mul(~A->matrix());

yeah, that's the same thing

And considering that the object is derived from Game::Obj, what is the scale?

That depends on the class of the object. You need to check comments on matrix method for different classes. For most classes scale of matrix method should be normalized
