My QObjectPicker won't behave

hhughe11

Someone please help me! I am displaying objects in a Qt3DWindow and I'm trying to select them with QObjectPicker. I create the ObjectPicker as follows:

Qt3DRender::QObjectPicker *MeshGraphics::createObjectPicker()
{
    Qt3DRender::QObjectPicker *picker = new Qt3DRender::QObjectPicker();

    if(QObject::connect(picker, SIGNAL(pressed(Qt3DRender::QPickEvent*)), 
                this, SLOT(pickMesh(Qt3DRender::QPickEvent*))))
    {
        qDebug() << "signal successfully connected";

        return picker;
    }

    else
    {
        qDebug() << "connect() failed";

        return nullptr;
    }
}

and I add it to my entity like this:

entity->addComponent(createObjectPicker());

When I have my renderSettings as:

Qt3DRender::QPickingSettings *settings = m_window->renderSettings()->pickingSettings();

settings->setFaceOrientationPickingMode(Qt3DRender::QPickingSettings::FrontAndBackFace);

settings->setPickMethod(Qt3DRender::QPickingSettings::TrianglePicking);
        
settings->setPickResultMode(Qt3DRender::QPickingSettings::NearestPick);

my "pickMesh" slot is never called, and the application outputs "signal successfully connected".
If I turn off TriangePicking in my settings:

Qt3DRender::QPickingSettings *settings = m_window->renderSettings()->pickingSettings();
        
settings->setFaceOrientationPickingMode(Qt3DRender::QPickingSettings::FrontAndBackFace);
        
//settings->setPickMethod(Qt3DRender::QPickingSettings::TrianglePicking);
        
settings->setPickResultMode(Qt3DRender::QPickingSettings::NearestPick);

Then my slot is called when I click next to my cube mesh without actually clicking on it. There are no error messages or compiler warnings. This is a serious issue, it needs to only call the slot if I click on the viewable surface. Someone please help me! Thank you.
