Text box only gives message when it has no Text?

So I'm making this game and the user has to enter a custom name, but whenever I test it and put a name, it always comes up with the response used when there is nothing there.


--things--
local WR = script.Parent.Parent:WaitForChild("Warning")
local NM = script.Parent.Parent
local NN = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("NewName")
--texts--
local preview = "My name is"..NN.Value
local warning2 = "This field cannot be blank."
--variables--
--script--
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    if NM.Text ~= "" then
        script.Parent.Visible = false
        repeat wait()
            NN.Value = NM.Text
        until NN.Value == NM.Text
        for a = 1,#preview do
            WR.Text = string.sub(preview,1,a)
            wait()
        end
        wait(3)
        WR.Text = ""
    else
        script.Parent.Visible = false
        for a = 1,#warning2 do
            WR.Text = string.sub(warning2,1,a)
            wait()
        end
        wait(3.2)
        script.Parent.Visible = true
    end
end)

you seted nm after setting the preview value, that is, the preview is not changed.

Hope this helps
