Public Variable Not Displaying in Inspector

Unity Engine

I have an attack script for my enemies, I wanted to make the range of the raycast editable in the inspector, but for some reason, it’s not showing up in the inspector.
Here’s my script,

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class BitingMold : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Animator animator;
    public GameObject attackTrigger;
    public EnemyMover mover;
    public EnemyCreator enemy;
    public bool isAttacking;
    private float speed, baseSpeed;
    public float rayRange = 0;
    public LayerMask playerLayer;
    public Player player;
    private void Start()
    {
        enemy = this.GetComponent<EnemyCreator>();
        player = FindObjectOfType<Player>();
        attackTrigger = GameObject.Find("EnemyAttackTrigger");
        attackTrigger.SetActive(false);
        mover = this.GetComponent<EnemyMover>();
        baseSpeed = enemy.speed;
        animator = this.GetComponent<Animator>();
       
    }
    private void Update()
    {
        RaycastHit2D info = Physics2D.Raycast(transform.position, mover.isRight ? Vector2.right : Vector2.left, rayRange, playerLayer);
        if (info.collider != null)
        {
            if(!this.GetComponentInParent<EnemyCreator>().isDead && !isAttacking && !player.isDead)
            {
                StartCoroutine(Attack());
            }
        }
    }
    IEnumerator Attack()
    {
        if (!this.GetComponentInParent<EnemyCreator>().isDead)
        {
            enemy.speed = 0.1f;
            isAttacking = true;
            animator.SetBool("isAttacking", true);
            yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.5f);
            attackTrigger.SetActive(true);
            yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.25f);
            animator.SetBool("isAttacking", false);
            if (attackTrigger != null)
            {
                attackTrigger.SetActive(false);
            }
                isAttacking = false;
            enemy.speed = baseSpeed;
        }
    }
}

All the other public variables are showing up, but the rayRange is not showing up, even if I put [SerializeField]. Can anyone tell what I’m doing wrong? Haha.

Thanks in advance.

Do you have any compile errors in your project?

Yeah,I even tried exiting Unity, restarting Visual Studio, reattaching the script.
This is what it looks like in the inspector,

That image shows a script called EnemyAttack, but your code is called BitingMold. Did you attach the correct script?

Haha! I feel like an idiot. I changed the name previously to EnemyAttack, and it seems the script duplicated?? So the one that I was editing was not attached, even though I opened it up through the inspector! It got confused because of the other script with the same name

I fixed it, thank you!
