Error: attempt to perform arithmetic on global xxx (a table value)

Hello, I was trying to alter a script for using manual video mode on my camera so that the three values TV, AV and SV are initialized by the scripting parameter system of CHDK, but I cannot make it work. When I assign the values of the parameter variables to the working variables - which works - I cannot add or substract something from these variables anymore. I get the error "attempt to perform arithmetic on global xxx (a table value)".

Please start the attached script on a camera and then try to change one of the values. After commenting out the lines 311, 312 and 313 the script works again.Why is it?

Thanks for your help!

That script does a lot of weird stuff, but one thing I see is that the function menuitem on line 211 use a global named t, so if that gets called before the assignment to tv96, it will end up being a table.

Don't forget what the H stands for.
