I use this to get a prompt where i can select a file

set thePath to quoted form of POSIX path of (choose folder with prompt "whatever)

How can i see hidden files in the "choose folder with prompt"? Allowing to see hidden files in finder doesn't do anything different.

You simply need to add with invisibles:

set thePath to quoted form of POSIX path of ¬
 (choose folder with prompt "whatever" with invisibles)

You can find the full syntax of the choose folder command in the Standard Additions dictionary: in AppleScript Editor, press Cmd-Shift-O (or select File > Open Dictionary...) and select StandardAdditions.osax from the list.
