Hi Guys,
So this problem has stumped me for a while. I have a class that inherits QDialog. When I call it from my class that inherits QObject, it disappears quickly after loading.
I have read many posts about making sure you create the dialog on the heap rather than the stack. I am following this advice but am still having troubles.
I have included my relevant code as well as a diagram showing the hierarchy of our program.

Thanks for your help!
Edit:
I forgot to also include that I want the PlayerMenu (QDialog) to be modeless. I have the PlayerMenu interacting with the GameLogic through signals.
The main problem I have is that I want the game to start when I load the dialog.
However if I put a signal in the constructor of PlayerMenu to start the game, then the game starts before the dialog is loaded.
If I use exec() It blocks the game logic until the dialog is closed which defeats the purpose.
Dialog Class inheriting QDialog Disappears Quickly After Loading.
