I am working on the SN2 AC theme for Stepmania 5 and I need help with the "Insert Credits" Image. Basically, I want it to show when There are no credits inserted and I also want to hide it if the person is on Event Mode or on Free play or if someone has credits inserted. Can anyone help me with this?

For the coins use GetCoins()
And for the coin mode compare with the ENUM:

if GetCoins() > 0

So like this?
if GetCoins() > 0
LoadActor( "Insert.png" )..{
};
else
if coinmode == 'CoinMode_Free'' == true then
LoadActor( "Button1A.png" )..{
};
Probably did that wrong TBH >.<

if GAMESTATE:GetCoins() > 0 then
LoadActor("Insert.png");
elseif GAMESTATE:GetCoinMode() == 'CoinMode_Free' then
LoadActor("Button1A.png");
end;
or you can set it up as a Sprite.
Quote
Def.Sprite{
InitCommand=cmd(xy,<x>,<y>;queuecommand,("Set"));
SetCommand=function(self)
if GAMESTATE:GetCoins() > 0 then
self:Load(pathtoinsert.png);
elseif GAMESTATE:GetCoinMode() == 'CoinMode_Free' then
self:Load(pathtobutton1a.png);
end;
end;
};

Yeah and this is how I did it
Quote
-- Start Button
Def.Actor{
if GAMESTATE:GetCoins() > 0 then
LoadActor("InsertCredits.png");
elseif GAMESTATE:GetCoinMode() == 'CoinMode_Free' then
LoadActor("Button1A.png");
end;
end
}
Def.Actor{
if GAMESTATE:GetCoins() > 0 then
LoadActor("InsertCredits.png");
elseif GAMESTATE:GetCoinMode() == 'CoinMode_Free' then
LoadActor("Button1A.png");
end;
end
}

It should be something along the lines of

local t = Def.ActorFrame{};
t[#t+1]=Def.ActorFrame{
if GAMESTATE:GetCoins() > 0 then
LoadActor("InsertCredits.png");
elseif GAMESTATE:GetCoinMode() == 'CoinMode_Free' then
LoadActor("Button1A.png");
end;
}
return t

Yeah I tried that and it's still giving me the error "Unexpected symbol near 'if'"

Your code is wrong, if you are returning a table, the conditions could not be inside the table items, the correct way to do this is to create the conditions first, and append the Actors to the table:
local t = Def.ActorFrame{};
if GAMESTATE:GetCoins() > 0 then
t[#t+1]=Def.ActorFrame{
LoadActor("InsertCredits.png");
}
elseif GAMESTATE:GetCoinMode() == 'CoinMode_Free' then
t[#t+1]=Def.ActorFrame{
LoadActor("Button1A.png");
}
end;
return t
if GAMESTATE:GetCoins() > 0 then
t[#t+1]=Def.ActorFrame{
LoadActor("InsertCredits.png");
}
elseif GAMESTATE:GetCoinMode() == 'CoinMode_Free' then
t[#t+1]=Def.ActorFrame{
LoadActor("Button1A.png");
}
end;
return t

That works but when I do a credit it shows the insert credit image instead of Press start button and It also doesn't show the Insert Credits image when there isn't a credit at all

Because the logic is not complete, if you check the first statement, It will show the insert credits image when the credits are bigger than zero, you need to practice first, until you didn't find what to do 
is a trial and error process. Your code should look something like this
I'm assuming that the Button1A is the press start button graphic. If the code doesn't fit your need practice adapting it.

It doesn't update the images when you insert a credit because you don't have any code to handle that event.
The code you have right now only loads a single image (one or the other) when the screen loads. This is problematic because when something changes, and you want to show the other image, the other image isn't there to show.
Does that make sense?
The solution is that you'll need BOTH actors (the InsertCredits image AND the PressStart image) loaded when the screen loads and you'll need to hide and show each as different events occur.
Some events you might want to handle include:
1. What happens when the screen changes?
2. What happens when the CoinMode changes?
3. What happens when the number of coins inserted changes?
You code might end up looking something like this: http://pastie.org/10961238
Please ask questions about what parts of that code you don't understand. I would much rather you understand than copy/paste code you don't understand.
