simulation_property_list can only handle string parameter types

[jakobs]

Currently when overriding properties with simulation_property_list, only string types are set. The code also doesn't check the type of an already existing parameter. At least the basic types which are defined in the cfg_manager should be supported (e.g. bool, int, double, string).

On another note: How can I set more complex types, e.g. vector or color?

Regarding "Only string"
Other values than string was not used so far and therefore not implemented.

Regarding "more complex types":
the cfg manager does not support more complex types. I assume this would be a larger extension.

If you set a parameter that is of another type, it is silently ignored (since the type is kept from the previous creation of the parameter).
With the more complex types, this is something I saw when loading yaml configurations. But I guess its not handled by the cfg_manager yet. Fair enough.
