Yeah, it was that your linedef was pointed the wrong way. It's important for all gun and switch-activated actions and some walk-over actions that linedefs are facing in the correct direction.

 

You may wish to read or skim through the basic tutorials on map editing, if only to get more solid grasp on how the engine does things.

Just teleporters, specifically. This is so that a traditional pad-to-pad teleporter won't just immediately teleport the player again when they step off the destination pad.
