{FIXED} Why is my script not updating my GUI's text instantly?

My script is meant to keep updating constantly, but when people earn player points it will not decrease on the GUI until you reset your character. Please could someone modify this to make it constantly update so players do not have to reset to see the current amount of player points!

points = Game:GetService("PointsService")
awardable = points:GetAwardablePoints()

while true do
    wait()
    if awardable == 0 then
    wait()
    script.Parent.Text = "This game is currently out of available player points"
    else
    wait()
    script.Parent.Text = "Player Points Available: "..awardable..""
    end
end

That's happening because you set awardable to the awardable points before you started the loop. Since it wasn't inside the loop, it wouldn't update.

points = Game:GetService("PointsService")

while true do
    local awardable = points:GetAwardablePoints()
    if awardable == 0 then
        script.Parent.Text = "This game is currently out of available player points"
    else
        script.Parent.Text = "Player Points Available: "..awardable
    end
    wait()
end

I removed most of the waits since they weren't necessary.
