discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: TypeError: wait_for() missing 1 required positional argument: 'event'

Question

I have a problem in line 19 of my code. It says that there is a missing argument, which is 'event'. However, I don't know how to fix this. I have looked into the docs for discord.py but I can't find anything. Can anyone help me?

from discord import Client
from discord.ext import commands
from random import randint

class Guess(commands.Cog, name="Guess the number game"):
    """This is a guess the number game."""

    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot = bot
            
    @commands.command(name="guess")
    async def _guess(self, ctx):
        number = randint(1, 100)
        guesses = 0

        while True:
            await ctx.send("Guess a number (send 'exit()') to stop:")

            response = await Client.wait_for("message")

            if response.content == "exit()":
                await ctx.send(":thumbsup: Stopped the game!")
                break
            else:
                try:
                    guess = int(response.content)
                except Exception:
                    await ctx.send(":question: That's not a valid input! Try again.")

            if guess > number:
                await ctx.send("Too high! Try again.")
                guesses += 1
            elif guess < number:
                await ctx.send("Too low! Try again.")
                guesses += 1
            else:
                await ctx.send(f":white_check_mark: That's correct! It took you {guesses} {'guess' if guesses == 1 else 'guesses'} to get it.")

def setup(bot):
    bot.add_cog(Guess(bot))

The difference is that in the Discord API example, all the code is in one file. However, in my code, the cogs are split into different files. — user16779014

You must change Client.wait_for("message") to self.bot.wait_for("message")
