You put the `new` and `setX` methods in the VECTOR table, but the
vector __index metamethod (which you've set as a table of default x, y
and z values) completely ignores this table.

Either put the methods in the same table as the defaults and set that
as the __index metamethod or use a function to return the appropriate
method or default value.

I've attached a working version of your script.
