Wait_for() function doesn't work in pycord

Question

I need a bot to wait for the user’s input (with a reaction), but even if I react to the message, it displays the error below.

import discord
import os
import random
import asyncio

testing_servers = [912361242985918464]
intents = discord.Intents.all()
bot = discord.Bot(intents=intents)

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    print('Online!')

@bot.slash_command(guild_ids=testing_servers, name="announce", description="Make server announcements!")
async def announce(ctx,channel_id : discord.Option(str, description = "Copy the text channel in developer mode."),title:str,text : str):
    #response embed
  try:
    channel = bot.get_channel(int(channel_id))
  except ValueError:
    channel = channel_id
    #announcement embed
  embed_check = discord.Embed(
    colour = discord.Colour.blue(),
    title = "Is this embed shown correct?",
    description = title + "n" * 2 + text
    
  )
  response = await ctx.respond(embed = embed_check)
  global message_react
  message_react = await response.original_message()
  await message_react.add_reaction("")
  
  def check(r,u):
    return True
  
  try:
    user_react = await bot.wait_for("on_reaction_add", check = check, timeout = 10.0)
    #the error ^
  except asyncio.TimeoutError:
    await ctx.send("Did not respond, and timed out")
    return
  embed_announce = discord.Embed(
      colour = discord.Colour.blue(),
      title=str(title),
      description = text
  )
  await channel.send(embed = embed_announce)

  embed = discord.Embed(
      colour=discord.Colour.blue(),
      title = "Sent!",
      description= "Check the channel!"
  )

  await ctx.send(embed = embed)

I’ve tried:

Reinviting the bot
Giving the bot all intents
Making the check function return True
Changing intents in the discord dev portal

The error happens in the line before the comment #the error ^.
I want to make the bot run the stuff under the try-catch system in that comment.

If I didn’t use a try-catch system it would make this error:

Ignoring exception in command announce:
Traceback (most recent call last):

    ret = await coro(arg)

    await self.callback(ctx, **kwargs)

    user_react = await bot.wait_for("on_reaction_add", check = check, timeout = 10.0)
File "/usr/lib/python3.8/asyncio/tasks.py", line 501, in wait_for
    raise exceptions.TimeoutError() asyncio.exceptions.TimeoutError

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

When you put events inside wait_for you don’t put ‘on’ in front of the event, so try like this:

user_react = await bot.wait_for("reaction_add", check = check, timeout = 10.0)
