Set System Volume to a percentage

I'd like to be able to set the system volume (as opposed to mute) in an action.

This can be accomplished via Terminal with the command: osascript -e "set Volume n" where n is a float value between 0-7

#!/bin/bash

if [[ -z $1 || ! $1 =~ ^[0-9]+$ ]]; then
  exit 1
fi

osascript -e "set volume output volume $1"

In ControlPlane you specify the volume percentage via the pipe "|" symbol:
