AFAIK you can't use a true sidechain compressor in FL studio.

In the driving signal, put a Fruity Peak Controller (FPC) in the effect chain. For the driven signal, it depends whether you use the Fruity Compresser or a VSTI (SuperCamelPhat2 for example).

For Fruity Compressor: put a FC in the effect chain of the driven signal. Pick the parameter you want manipulated on the compressor - say "ratio" for example - right-click it, and choose "Link to controller". Choose internal controller "Peak control - peak".

For SuperCamelPhat2, insert a SCP2 into the effect chain of the driven signal. Tweak the compressor parameter a little, then click the electric plug type symbol at the far top left of the plug-in window. When the menu opens, pick "Last Tweaked Parameter", from the submenu choose "Link to controller", Choose internal controller "Peak control - peak".

After you've set up one of the two of those, adjust the peak detector on the FPC to have the desired effect.
