using Unity.VisualScripting;
using UnityEngine.UIElements;

namespace Stats
{

    public class Enemy : MonoBehaviour
    {
        public static int atk;
        public static int def;
        public static int hp;
        public static int spd;
        public static int mana;
        public static UnityEngine.UI.Image enemyImage;

        public static GameObject[] infectedLvlOne;

        public static GameObject[] infectedLvlSeven;
        public static GameObject[] infectedLvlEight;

        private static int baseHp;
        private static int baseSpd;
        private static int baseMana;
        private static int lvl;


        static void SetBaseInfectionStats()
        {
            atk = baseAtk * lvl;
            def = baseDef * lvl;
            hp = baseHp * lvl;
            spd = baseSpd * lvl;
            mana = baseMana * lvl;
        }
    }

I have tried adding system serializable to the class and field serializable to the variables I need, but even with that it doesnt work. The variables are public so they should appear.

Static variables are not serializable.

From Docs:

To use field serialization, you must ensure it:

Is public, or has a SerializeField attribute
Is not static
Is not const
Is not readonly
Has a fieldtype that can be serialized.

Remove the static keyword from the fields and they will be serialized and show in the inspector.
