Code:
turf
    grass
    icon = 'turfs.dmi'
    icon_state = "grass"
    density = 0  
    water
    icon = 'turfs.dmi'
    icon_state = "water"
    density = 1


whenever i try to add a water turf, it changes my grass turf to water on the map file..i always get this problem..please help..:

You didn't indent properly, so "water" becomes the default icon state for all turfs.

The following will make it so that only grass displays as grass, and only water displays as water.
turf
    grass
        icon = 'turfs.dmi'
        icon_state = "grass"
        density = 0  
    water
        icon = 'turfs.dmi'
        icon_state = "water"
        density = 1

I didn't think it would even compile like that.

I guess he could load the map editor without compiling though.

The compiler probably thinks he's making a new type, the turf/grass, then just going back to editing the variables of the base type. Obviously, you can do something like that.
obj
    obj2
    icon = 'base object's icon'

Then it just does the same for the second derived type, then thinks he's going back to the base type and overriding what he did before.

So
type1
    type2
    variable = thing1
    type3
    variable = thing2

Ends up being equivalent to
type1
    variable = thing2  //was thing1, but this overrides it
    type2
    type3

Oh yeah, I didn't think about that. I have never tried to make a type without puting anything into it.

Just as a little bit of added information, you don't have to put "density=0" in the grass coding. Density is, by default, zero, unless changed. You DO, however, have to keep it after water, unless you want people walking on water.
