As you admit you are a newbie, I'll go easy on you 
The script is much more broken than the declaration of variables. The now deprecated version of oclhashcat relied on the idea of a left and right mask which the script leverages in the random assignment to both of these masks one of either dictionaries, rules, or masks. As hashcat-plus does not use the constructs of left and right mask, the script is irreconcilably broken without a complete rewrite. This rewrite has been promised by atom in the next release of hashcat-plus.
